I have both, and have pocket carried both. The LCR is more comfortable in the pocket, but the LC9, with more rounds available, is more comforting. I also have an LCP(hate it), and have settled on a Kel-Tec P32. I only pocket carry, so size and weight are major considerations for me. I can pocket the Kel-Tec all day comfortably, and know it will get me out of almost any situation short of full blown civil war. I carry a 10 round magazine for the P32 in my off pocket and feel that 18 rounds in such a small, light package is almost perfect.
